T0 @ZZ whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ISRAEL B. TAYLOR, a resident of Bu italo, Eriecounty, State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Gas-Burners; and my preferred manner of carrying outt-he invention is set forth in the following full, clear, and exactdescription, terminating with claims particularly specifying thenovelty.

This invention relates to stoves, and more especially to such as areused for the combustion of gas in its artificial or natural form; andthe principal object of the same is to produce a burner-head especiallyadapted for this purpose and which is made in a most economic manner.Other objects will appear below. l

I To these ends the invention consists in the specific construction ofparts hereinafter more fully describedY and claimed and as shown in theaccompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 isa general perspective view ofthis device in its complete and preferred form. Fig. 2 is an enlargedvertical sectional View through one ot the endmost inlet-pipes andburner-heads. Fig. 3 is a plan view, with one of the burner-heads insection, on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectionthrough one of the mixers.

Referring to the said drawings, the numeral 1 designates the feed-pipefor natural or artiiicial gas, which latter is led through an elbow 2and thence upward through a pipe 3 to the mixer. This latter consists ofa chamber whose sides have holes 4, whose top 5 is conical and leadsupward to the burner and around whose body moves a sleeve G, havingholes 7, as seen in Fig. 4, so loca-ted that they are adapted toregister with the holes 4 when desired. The sleeve G has one or moreears 7', adapted to impinge against pins 9 in the body of the mixer whensaid sleeve is in either closed or open position. The sleeve may beheldin a position between its open and closed extremities by means ofset-screws S, which pass through the ears of said sleeve and are adaptedto engage the body of the mixer.

There may be one feed-pipe 1 branched to the several pipes 3 or theremay be several independent feed-pipes5 but there is preferably a mixerfor each inlet-pipe 10, so that it However, it is not essential thatsaid horizontal burners be always employed, although I prefer to usethem in agas stove or range for the purpose of heating the water-back(or wa ter-front) and the oven, thereby making the gas stove or rangecomplete. As the use of 'horizontal burners is optional, it is alsopermissible to use one or more of my improved burner-heads, eachstanding below and adjacent a griddle-hole, as will be vclearlyunderstood.

As best seen in Fig. 2, my improved burnerhead When'nished consists ofan interi0r1ythreaded collar 11, a dished or inverted-cup shaped lowermember 12, of concavo-convex form, superimposed upon the upper end ofsaid collar and having an inlet-opening 13 at its center communicatingtherewith, an oppo Y sitely-disposed convexoconcave upper member 14above and concentric with the lower member and with a slot 15 betweentheir peripheries, an opening 16 in the top of this upper member abovethat numberedl in the lower member, a mixing dome or cup 17, mountedover this opening,with a small iiange 18 around the latter andprojecting slightly into the interior of the head, and a number ofpillars 19,(preferably four,) connecting the lower with the upper memberpreferably just outside said flange. A highly-important point inconnection with this burner-head is the tact that it is of one piece ofmetal, which reduces to a great extent the cost of its manufacture andits liability to become broken or disarranged, and thereby enhances itsutility to a proportionate degree. It will not be necessary to describethe manner of making this head further than to say that it is done byfirst casting the shell complete by means of suitable cores, and theslot 15 is then formed between the upper and lower members by sawing orin any other well-known manner. This leaves the pillars integrallyconnected at their extremities with the two members IOO which are heldrigidly spaced aproper dis-j tance even after 'theslot is formedyand ave'ryic strong and durable one-piece head is thereby produced.

As illustrated in the drawings herewith, one or more horizontal burnersmay be used 1. in connection with vthe burner-heads aboveL described.Each horizontal burner comprises an upper member 20, bolted, as at21,toai lower member 22, which has openings 23 `in` the upper edge ofits outer wall, and the mixed air and gas ,passes upward through thepipe 10' into the interior of its burner, as will be clear. On beingignited'th'e iiam'epasseslat erally out the openings 23 and strikes theadjacent wall `o'fthe water-back (or water-front) or'tlrefoven, if theran-ge libe provided with? one. 'llheseiparlt-s being'weil known are'not' illustrated lin 'fthe irawings. f

il (do not confine myself `to the specific 'de-`` tail-sofconstructionnor to 'the sizes, shapes, and proportions 'of ip'arts, as`"considerab'le change ycan be vmade therein without depart ing from`the y,principle of my invention.

@ne modification which I might sugg'c-isit,y and which is, in fact,illustrated in l'the 4d-rawl' ings, is that :there may 'be two vparallelinferi-f zo'n'tal burners fc'onrnectfe'd by .pi-ping Ior ife'd fromAindependent mixers, and 'a plate 30 is,I boited er screwed, as at v3:1,v'to fthfe 'tops `off 'the several bnrnersfan'd is provided with groovesf 32, tfhrongh which the arm-s of staples 33 may pass. This plat-fe notonly f'conn'ects lth'e two burners in such manner as to permit the fremoval 'of one-or both, but lit iforms fa goed support lior.thestapfles-, as will b e clear. 'Snch v staples proje'c't outward and,through 'their bends 34, pass th'e endmo'st pipes i0. Tfhel bodies 'of'the `'staples 'stand in the grooves v32 and are adjustablelongitudinally under the washers 34'., which are :fastened byscrews', l

thatrpass downward .into the plate. Although I have shown t-hefstaples'th-us mounted 'ad-- jnsiably .in fg-roeveson the plate, it will be'clear 'that the #grooves might be llformed in the Arop off aliii-'orizontai burner, which would g be 'preferable if there Vwere onlyone suchl burner.
